C Correct answer
Explanation

The Amazon River is the largest by discharge volume (about 209,000 m³/s) and drainage basin area (7 million km²). However, the Nile River is the longest by length (6,650 km vs Amazon's 6,400 km). Since the question uses 'largest' without specifying the criterion, both interpretations are valid, but Amazon is generally considered 'largest' in most contexts.
